Meet Willow!
Willow is a courageous two-year-old Siberian Husky/American Pitbull Terrier mix whose tricolor coat shimmers as brightly as her unstoppable spirit. She's a distemper survivor with a fighter's heart, and despite a challenging beginning, she's blossomed into a loving, curious girl with an unstoppable zest for life. You'd never know she's endured so much when she's trotting happily on a long walk or curling up beside her caregiver for a cuddle session. Walks are her favorite, whether it's a brisk stroll or an adventurous hike, she's happiest when exploring the world with her person!
Ideal Home
Willow would thrive in a single-dog home where she can be the center of attention. She could potentially do well with a dog of similar energy and age, but absolutely no sharing of food. She would do best with a calm, adult family that values routine and kindness, and is home often.
Ongoing Health
Willow is a distemper survivor.
Training & Support
Willow has shown protective behaviors, including a past incident where she attempted to bite a mail carrier when startled, and she tends to nip when overly excited. She is also fearful of strangers, particularly men, which can cause her to react defensively when she feels unsure or unsafe. These behaviors are rooted in past trauma and fear, and she's actively working through them in a board-and-train program focused on building confidence through positive reinforcement. She is crate trained, house trained, and knows the "sit" command.
